Postcode doesn’t take you to the address on sat nav & signage is not adequate to locate cottages in the dark As a dog owner it would be good if areas for dog walking close to the cottage were in info folder Otherwise really good stay

“"The Stable" is a spacious well fitted out cottage in a lovely quiet location.”

It had everything we need for a a stay away and was generally comfortable with a good sized dining table and chairs something which is often amiss in smaller cottages. We refuse to entertain those whom can't provide a proper dining table , after all they can be obtained that fold down to no size . The cottage itself is sited well to get to York and other attractions in the area . ( Make sure you get the time to visit Burnby house and gardens) . The WIFI works wells as the owner has had the previous problem sorted out - well done for that. The cottage warms up quickly and stays warm however the oil boiler sited in the nice sized kitchen was a tad noisy but with the kitchen door closed didn't really cause us a problem. The double bed for me was comfortable and I slept well but my partner found it not supportive enough for her - can't please everyone. Personally my only "complaint" was that the shower cubicle was too small for me ( the shower it's self was good) but my partner thought it was fine. It could do with a rack/shelf to put soap shampoos etc on instead of having to put them on the floor of the cubicle - again cant please everyone. Ultimately the proof is in the pudding as they say - would we rent the property again - yes we would

“Excellent Location for York”

If you are looking for property near York then this is ideal. Just short trip in car to a park and ride and you are in York in about 10 minutes on a very reliable, regular bus service. Plenty of space, beautifully equipped and pet friendly in very quiet location. Really recommend.

“Super accommodation in a lovely village.”

The Stables was well over our expectations and provided us with a comfortable and beautifully clean base for our holiday with our Grandson and dog. The facilities were excellent and made us feel at home.As this was our second visit ,we were pleased to use the Stables again.

“A nice well equipped cottage in a quiet location.”

It's ideal for exploring York and the surrounding area.

Mrs Pell July 2019

“We selected this cottage because it is near York, a place we love.”

Turned out to be only a short drive in the car from the cottage to Grimston Bar Park and Ride then a short bus ride using a very reliable bus service. So excellent location for us in an extremely quiet area. Lots of space here, great well equipped kitchen and even a dining area. Only downside was that sometimes wifi was not reliable. Also I would slightly improve the directions to the cottage. We got a little lost and sat nav let us down once in Yapham. However I would say once you get to Yapham from the 1079 road you just go past the church, carry on straight ahead and go past an old telephone box to find the cottage.

“Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings, and a good base to travel and see North Yorkshire”

- Mr Vecchio, May 2019
Mr Pickett February 2019

“Would have been nice to have a visitors book,always good to read what pubs and places other people have found.”

The property was clean with plenty of equipment and really good size.Was a good base as only a short drive to Pocklington which has FREE car parks.We parked up and got bus to York so easy also buses to the lovely Beverly. While at cottage we visited Market Weighton and parking was free there.(like this part of Yorkshire.The welcome pack was a bit feeble (no homade cake) but nice warm cottage and spare blanket in wardrobe if chilly.Think we will be back.

Arrived late at cottage, owners extra directions to property certainly helped as postcode not too accurate, made our holiday extra special to find cottage had Christmas tree and decorations up can't recommend this place enough

Mr Murley September 2018

“Just met expectations.”

But could have benefited with a new shower head as the water came out of the side of the unit. were you adjust the pattern.It would have benefited with a holder were you put the toiletries.. We had to buy a paring knife as it was missing. Nobody on site welcomed us and therefore had no on site contact to resolve the problem with the shower. And there were no pamphlets of the local area attractions. Saucepan lids missing.Just little things.

Mr Ireland September 2018

“I've never slept so consistently well on a holiday.”

The furniture was a bit soft for my mother (who is 85), but it was so convenient having everything on one level, and the cottage was excellently designed. The location was fantastic; so many attractions available within 20 - 60 minutes drive. Some great walking also available very nearby on the Chalkland Way and the Yorkshire Wolds Way. I was very happy with the cottage and the location. The weather was a bit unpredictable, but nobody has any control over that, and we got round any adverse weather by choosing our activity wisely. There was some minor confusion on arrival as the cottage appeared to be locked, but I had just failed to realise that there was a second access to the cottage; entirely my own fault. The only other dark point, which again is nothing to do with Sykes Cottages, was that I got a parking fine on Sunday lunchtime in Pocklington, on the grounds of not being parked correctly in the bays provided. The photographs taken by the warden do show that my offside rear wheel was a few inches over the white line, but I do not believe they prove that I was in any way inconveniencing other road users or pedestrians; indeed, I would have been guilty of the latter if I had parked further over to the left! I have appealed online against the fine on the grounds that I wished to minimise the walking for my mother, who walks on a stick permanently. Indeed, my mother has already given me the money for the fine, as I parked in that spot for her convenience. But is that really fair? Thank you very Sykes Cottages; we had a splendid week, and are very likely to use one of your cottages again for future holidays.

“We had a super week at the Stables and it was really a home from home.”

The accommodation was bigger than expected and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. It was situated in a pleasant courtyard with plenty.

Mr Hanson August 2018

“Very comfortable, A comprehensive information pack.”

Excellent location quite but close enough to York the main reason for the visit. Will use Sykes cottages again

Mrs Farnley August 2018

“Comfortable cottage , no outlook but my misunderstanding.”

Ideal for seaside and areas of interest. Missed the dishwasher but no hardship . A nice quiet place and lovely villages and the town of Pocklington great.

- Mrs Farnley, August 2018
Mrs Granger August 2018

“Although the cottage is lovely and well equipped, it is around 3 miles from Pocklington in a small village called Yapham.”

There are absolutely no facilities in Yapham. The shower head and mount need replacing and the dishwasher display is illegible.

“Very Comfortable & well equipped”

We were looking for somewhere to stay near York, and found The Stable in Yapham. It was very good value, so we were expecting fairly basic accommodation. On arrival , we opened the front door and were really impressed. The Stable has everything you would need. The kitchen is very well equipped - Electric hob & oven / grill, fridge / freezer, washing machine & dryer. TV with Freeview & DVD, comfy sofa & armchair to unwind after exploring all that Yorkshire has to offer. For those that need connectivity, The Stable has reliable wifi. The Stable is very clean, and although it is pet friendly, there's no evidence of pets having been in the property. The owner couldn't have been more friendly & helpful. While we were there, we booked a discount ticket for the NYMR on the internet, then after completing the transaction, we found that we would need to print the ticket, and having contacted the owner, he was more than happy for us to drop by and use his own printer. I would highly recommend The Stable, for comfort, convenience, cleanliness & value. There's also a great view from the back of the property.

“After trying to book a cottage on your site I was beaten too it, Sykes quickly responded and offered me a more expensive cottage for the same price as the one I tried to book, this was fantastic and meant we could fetch an extra dog!”

Thanks for all your help, the owner of the cottage was helpful too, we rang him on two occasions with questions regarding the property and he was more then happy to help us. Thanks again for a super break!

It is perhaps best known for Burnby Hall Gardens - 8 acres of gloriously beautiful gardens with two large lakes which are home to the National Collection of water lilies. There are several world famous attractions nearby - majestic Castle Howard, beautiful Sledmere House, and of course the historic city of York. The town boasts a leisure centre offering a wide range of sports, including swimming, a Civic Centre and the Pocklington Arts Centre, which shows various films and stages live shows throughout the year. Pocklington is also home to Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre, known worldwide for its meditation courses and retreats, plus the KP Golf Club is situated approx. 1 mile away and offers wedding and other event facilities, a stylish bar and a restaurant, as well as an 18 hole championship golf course. Just a few miles away is the village of Warter, which is where David Hockney produced his 'Bigger Trees Near Warter' painting. Nearby are various cycle ways including the North Sea Cycle Route and walkers will love either the long distance walks along the Wolds Way or one of the many more circular walks in the area for all abilities. For those who enjoy touring by car, Pocklington forms part of the Pocklington Round, a lovely scenic drive which takes in some of the area’s prettiest villages.
